It is not just Marcos Antonio Torres the only Filipino who will carry the torch but there are two others. And no, they dint join the contests- they were selected by the Beijing Municipal Government.

Jaime FlorCruz, CNN's Beijing Bureau Chief is scheduled to carry the Olympic torch on August 6 in Beijing, two days before the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. His daughter Michelle, a student at the International School in Beijing, will carry the Olympic torch on August 3 in Tangshan City.
